i was told to take it down and look for slop in the rod bushings, does anyone think that could be the problem? thanks for your help!
you may need to find someone who knows this motor because i have known people to change piston & sleeve with improper parts so keep that in mind unless the person is a friend if it is improper you will never get a tune just a thought for you to consider dj & trickd should be able to assist you good luck
